The National tribune. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1877-1917, 1887-05-19

No OLD soldier who hears the name Of
Gen. James B. Steedman but recalls with a
thrill of admiration the liOn-like courage of
the hero of Chickamauga, which carried
him unflinchingly through storms of shot
and shell to win victory when victory SEEM
ed an impossibility. He was generous to q
fault, and the idol of his men, who would
follow him to the death at his bidding, come
when and how it might A fitting tribute
to the dead General is the monument to be
unvailed on the Goth of the present month
at his old home at Toledo, o. Crowds of
people, not only OF old soldiers, but of those
who revere the memory of all who contrib
uted so much TO the wiping out of the re-
bellion, will gather there TO do honor to the
gallant General and true soldier. Appropri-
ate ceremonies will accompany the unvail-
ing, and the occasion cannot fail to be one Of
exceeding interest.

FRATERNITY MEANS SOMETHING.

Comrades, attention TO little lecture:
The motto of our noble Order is Frater-
nifty, Charity and Loyalty.
We need not say anything to you as to
the full meaning Of the last two words, for
no body of men in the world shows fuller
appreciation Of them than you do.
But there is great room for a furtherance
of the idea Of Fraternity. Each one of You
can and should do more every day to make
Fraternity more Of living force than it is
to-day. If we would all think first Of our
comrades when we want to hire some one,
when we wish 10 buy something, OF when a
public OF private place is TO be filled, we
would strengthen the ties which unite us,
and assist deserving comrades in practical,
effective way.
II you want, for example, to buy cigar,
OF bit of chewing tobacco, or an article OF
gentiemen's furnishing goods, or groceries
for your family, stop and think if some COM
rade near by has not these things for sale,
If so, patronize him-pay your money &c
him, and help him along in the struggle for
business success.
If you want your garden cared for, or Q
job of repairing done about your house
inquire IL there is not some comrade WhS
would like the job. If SO, give it to him
10y all means. Your money is better in hi
pocket than in any other mans
If you need clerk, mechanic, a laborer
Waterman, look around, and surely yol
win find some cOmrade who will serve yo1
admirably, and one who needs the employ
meDt sorely.
Fraternity means just this thing. ]
means that we shall all be mutually helpful
that we shall prefer one another CONSTANT
over those who are not comrades, wheneve
there is business TO be done money to b
expended, OF layors 10 be granted. We a
intend 20 do this, but unless the matter
kept constantly before us we are liable |
forget about il. IL would be- well TO tai

POPE LEO XIII.
The Jubilee CeremonIes-A Sketch OF His
Life.

The Jubilee CeremonIes-A sketch of His
Life.
Bishop Keaue's lecture was a part of
the local ceremonies in homo: OF the Pope's
priestly Jubilee, an event memorable in
the history of the Catholic Church. Ex-
tensive preparations have beer made in
Europe and America TO make the jubilee
one of the grandest celebrations in the his
tory of Catholicism. As a part OF the GER
emOnies, great exhibition will BE- for
mally opened at Rome in the presence of
the ENJOYS Of representatives of every Eu-
rOpean government. Costly and unique
presents, the enumeration of which would
fill volume, will be among the magniti-
cent tokens Of the love and respect felt for
the Holy Father. Poesy will grace the
event in an ode written by the greatest
living French poet. Protestant England
and Germany will vie with the Catholic
countries in showing respect to the greatest
spiritual potentate of the earth. All that
bouudleSs wealth, the devotion { millions,
and the respect and admiration Of count
less millions more can accomplish will be
done to surround the Pope's Jubilee with
an unprecedented display of msgnitcence.
In America the ceremonies in honor of
the event will be on q scale commensurate
with the occasion. In the larger cities
great demonstrations have already been
held.
The man to whom these demonstrations
of respect are shown was horn March 2,
1910, at Carfnettro, in the diocese Of
Agnani. His name is JOchim Vincent
Raphael Louis Pecci. The family OF Pecci
is q noble one Many of its members have
been famous in Italian song
and story. Warriors, poets and
statesmen were reCkoned among
young Pecci's ancestors. Count Ludovico
Pecci was a soldier under Napoleon and
achieved distinction. He married Anna
Prosferi Bugi. Their fourth son now oc-
cupies the chair of st. Peter. At his
mothers death, then eight years old, the
future Pope was sent to school at the pres
ent college of NiterbO His brilliant in
teliectual talents soon brought him into
notice. In 1875 he became pupil of the
famous Roman College of Jesuits,
where he won the first prize
for excellence in prose compost
ton. A brilliant, earnest and
indefatigable student, he soon stood at the
head of his school, winning alike the adj
miratiou and regard of instructors and
fellow students. In 1882 he received the
degree of Doctor OF Theology, the highest
academical distinction conferred by the
Catholic church. He determined to enter
the service of the Holy See, and became
member of the college for noble ecclesias-
tics, the same year. While applying him.
self diligently TO his studies in
jurisprudence he still pushed for
ward his work in theology, stIiv-
ing ever to make himself more fit for the

Boyd, in Part OIe of ;he Circuit Court
yesterday, The DESCENDANTS being indicted
for grand larceny in that they lraudulentIy
procured two gold watches and some minor
articles from Mr.. John A. Lash, the jew
eler, or the last day of June and the
fourth day of Jnly, last. j. G. LORD plead
not guilty to the charge, and being jointly
indicted with Vancleve, his counsel moved
for separation of the case, which motion
was granted. The evidence for the state,
with which the public is familiar, having
been taken, Col. Arnett, cOunse! Tor Lord,
moved TO exclude the testimony, claiming
there was 10 evidence of collision or con
spirtry between Lord and NancleHe.
After considerable hesitation the Court
sustained the motion TO rule out and tn"
iurS brought IN q verdict of not guilty
without leaving their seats. The prisoner
was then discharged as TO the mdlct-
ments, and the property turned over to
Mr. Lash. The prisoner wa4 rImanded
to Jail, there being Capias from Marshall

ment.

work to which he had been called. In
1887 he was chosen one OF the Papal pre-
lates, thence his advancement was rapid.
His noble and unflinching work during
the prevalence of the Asiaic cholera won
him his promotion to the priesthood, which
event is now being celebrated with such
pomp Throughout the Catholic world.
The following events of his
life must be sketched briefly. In
1898 he was made Governor
of the province of Beneyisto, where his
firm and prudent measures were successful
in putting down the smugglers and bri-
pands who had made the province refuge
for years Three years later he became
delegate of Spoletto and was chosen to NIL
the Apostolic Nuncio at Brussels. Then
as q reward for his labors he was raised to
the See of Perrugia. On February ~,
1873. he was chosen Supreme POutitf, being
elected on the third ballot in the College
of Cardinals. The impressive scene is de-
scribed by the biographer OF Leo XIII. rs
follows:
ION the third ballot Cardinal Pecci sat
with closed eyes, his face as pale As DEATH
as he stated afterward, he felt so unwor-
thy of the honor that was to be his that
his feelings overcane him. ln this bsllot
Cardinal Pecci received A votes. The
master of ceremonies, accompanied by the
sub dean, senior cardinal priest and cardl-
dinal deacon, approached the seat No.
o. 'Da you accept the election canon
ically made of you as Supreme Pontlfl
OF the Catholic Church, the sub-dean
asked. The Cardinal rising, with talter-
ing tongue, accepted the holy office after
expressing a sense of bis unworthircss.

Why the Price IL so Stiff This Season
Potatoes and Corn Scarce.
"What is the cause ofwheat sailing 20 well
up in price this season." quericd REGIS
TER man of Mr.. Jules Pollock, yesterday.
"Well, think it is principally due to
the scarcity of corn and potatoes this year,
combined with the great loss in the
burned districts during the extreme hot
weather. You know a great many peopl"
depend very largely on potatoes for suSten-
ance, in fact they take the place Of the
staff OF life, as they are much cheaper than
bread. 1t is also the same With corn, and
as both of these articles of food are scarce,
you can easily account for the stiffness in
the price OF wheat"
"What is the cause OF the two centSdrop
from last week."
That is huctuatiOu in the market
caused by some heavy holder pushing of
perhaps half million bushels OF wheat,
fearing drop in prices, aud such changes
are bound to occur throughout the season.
